Ho, I wish, Paula. Google "living wall systems" and you will see there is a huge array of different living wall components you can buy. Or, as Alice points out you can make one of your own out of recycled materials. It's become the "nouveau" art form in recent years.

If you ever get down to Orlando, the display at Epcot is the most gorgeous living wall system I've ever seen. This link has the best pictures of it, and others. http://greenecowalls.com/ OF course the Epcot people spend an enormous amount of money on plants there and change their plants out all the time to keep it fresh and looking beautiful.

I have some interesting things I found in the garden this morning, including a bloom on my little "wild" Monk orchid. Spathoglottis orchids still blooming away, and putting up new spikes. Flowering maples, looking like little hibiscus flowers are loving the cooler weather.

After beefing about it's boring color all summer, my Colocasia 'Blue Hawaii' is making smaller leaves now with very vivid colors, and 'Dipt in Wine' coleus that I got as cuttings from Mj are coming on brilliantly.
